Orphans & Vulnerable Children
Providing needy children with skills for life and the knowledge to grasp and celebrate their value, purpose, and creator.
Imagine a place where almost every other person you meet is under the age of fifteen. Among the four African nations where ELI serves, the number of children make up nearly half of the country’s population! When it comes to changing the course of a country and empowering the lives of a nation, this reality cannot be ignored.
Among this population, millions of orphans and vulnerable children struggle daily for survival. In Kenya alone, over two hundred adults die daily from HIV /AIDS leaving behind children to fend for themselves or to be displaced among already overburdened neighbors or relatives. Countless other children have a parent but poverty, neglect or abuse subjects the child to deplorable conditions – injuring the child’s welfare, esteem, and hope for a future or family that cares.
Empowering Lives International recognizes this present reality as an opportunity to change the course of the future by providing care and education for the children today.
These are the leaders of tomorrow and they are also children that God cares about today. In response to this opportunity ELI provides care for orphans and educational opportunities to needy children that provides healing to hurting hearts, hope for a better future, and practical skills that can change the course of a child’s life for the better.
